MAC Select Moisturecover Dual Concealer

A limited-edition dual-sided Select Moisture Concealer featuring two tones to help conceal blemishes and correct dark circles under the eyes. Line softening, moisturized finish makes it ideal for undereyes.

MAC Select Moisturecover Duo

Cost: Rs. 1400/8 mL

I bought this for a bunch of reasons: I have dark circles, and I have deep-set eyes - trust me, it's a bad combination. I needed a coral-based concealer for the dark circles and a more yellow one for lightening. I had planned on buying two separate products from another brand, when this collection launched, and the concealer seemed made for me :P :P The cost was another reason. Buying two separate products would have cost me more.

Coral Corrector

Yellow Corrector

To use: Mix sufficient quantities of both correctors to get a close match for your skin, apply to the areas that need it (in my case, undereyes), dab with a sponge to take off any excess, and set with powder. (Check this article/video for better detail.)

I try to mix it to get a colour similar to my foundation shade
makes it easier for me to figure out how much to use of each corrector.

My take on this so far (have used it only twice now - and I haven't really used very many concealers so far):

It's perfect for people who have not been able to find a suitable shade of concealer - like me, I need two separate shades to get a proper effect. I mix and use for concealing, then use a bit more of the yellow to make the area look a bit brighter.

I liked the packaging - definitely easier having to search for one product rather than two :P

I mix it on the back of my hand, and I end up wasting a lot of product that sticks on to my hand.

It's a limited edition product, so if you love it, and you run out of whatever you have stocked up - uh-ohhh!!!

I would use this for now, but I don't know if I would repurchase. Oh well, it's limited edition anyway, so I might not get it to repurchase either :D

Update: With a little practice, I found that I can use the coral corrector first - dab dab little of it on the undereye area - pat with little finger - then dab dab little of the yellow corrector and pat with little finger - to get a good coverage. This way, I waste no product either. Takes a bit of trial and error but is easy to do :)

It is just so amazing na..I saw that MUA using this on Priya, and it reallyyyyy did make the difference. I so much wanted to buy it, but then thought that I anyway dont have that much patience to mix and match and get perfect shade all the time.. and now Yash is anyway multi tasking as a concealer for me!! he he he he!!!

But this concealer did make a loootttttt of difference on priya..her face suddenly started looking so fresh and it sooo well hid the dark circles.....and it was looking really easy peasy..the mua first kept on aplying orange orange and then yellow on top and mixed there only..he he...!! :D :D ..Its really buildable and suitable for all skin tones!!!

yeah...but that way as you wrote, a lot of product might go wasted naa...And it is limited edition!! :| I want these MAC people to include yash, dual concealer and siahi in their permanent collection!! :D :D

naa... :( Its too far and if I'd started at 6..donno at what time I'd have reached there...I didn't want to reach at the "pack up" time and make a fool of myself!!...And I was having some headache too... :((

I like the idea of this concealer and I know it will work for me.......you know I was wawtching this mallu aunty doing someone's makeup on kairali and she used such a jaundiced yellow foundation on a lady's face and it looked so good on that lady......
